Pushing away all the work, Yuan Ziyan and Wu Mei sat down face to face, with a few delicate and light dishes in front of them, and homemade wine in the glass utensils.

"Come on, have a drink." Yuan Ziyan poured a glass of wine for Wu Mei, Wu Mei took a big sip, but she didn't expect the fruit wine to be so strong, she choked and coughed a few times, and tears flowed out, "Good wine!" ”

"Don't wipe it, cry if you want to." Yuan Ziyan said lightly.

Wu Mei was stunned, knowing that she couldn't hide it from Yuan Ziyan, she cried when she lost her voice, she was still sobbing for a long time, and choked up: "Mother-in-law, I used to think that by becoming a queen, I could protect myself and my family, but now I was wrong, there are no enemies outside, but my family has begun to find ways to deal with me." ”

"Hey, this is life in the palace, and I can't experience the true feelings of the people. I'm afraid that your sister is looking at Shangzhi'er, right? Yuan Ziyan asked.

Wu Mei nodded, "My stepmother's eyes are like torches, and my sister really wants to be His Majesty's concubine." ”

"What do you think?"

"Mother-in-law, it's not that I'm jealous, but my sister must never marry Your Majesty. When I entered the palace and even became the queen today, my majesty has borne countless scoldings. If I marry a sister who has been married, the courtiers and the people will inevitably talk about it, and they will also accuse me of relying on power and beauty to stabilize my position. Wu Mei raised her worries, and sighed again: "As long as it's not Your Majesty, no matter who my sister marries, I will ask Your Majesty to give her a marriage, but, hey." ”

"And what do you want to do in the future?"

"Of course, it's to send my sister out of the palace."

"Your mother is used to following your sister, and she may follow her when the time comes."

"Then I will buy a house for him in Chang'an. It is also convenient to enter the palace to see each other, which is better than separating the two places before. ”

It seems that Wu Mei has made up her mind, and Yuan Ziyan poured her another glass of wine. hinted: "Paulie, there are some things that you can't help yourself, and you can't be soft-hearted when you should act, otherwise you will be cruel to yourself." ”

"Mother-in-law, I understand."

This night, the two chatted until late Wu Mei left, and now she has become the queen. has two more children, and there are people coming and going on weekdays, so Meng Lanxuan is too young.

In order to facilitate the help of Li Zhi to take care of the government. Wu Mei and Li Zhi lived in the Taiji Palace together, Wu Mei would not live in the main hall, the former queen had just died tragically, and whoever lived in it felt unlucky. Because Wu Mei also has a period of experience as a monk. So I chose a nice palace for myself. It's called the Temple of Manna.

With Wu Mei's labor period coming, Li Zhi was very happy, and posthumously presented Wu Mei's father, Wu Shitong, as Situ Taiwei, and presented the title of Duke of Zhou. On the one hand, it is to express his love for his wife, and on the other hand, it is to elevate the queen's background, which seems to be the mourning of the samurai's death, but the significance is still very significant.

The identity of the Wu family is naturally rising, for example, my sister is even more arrogant. There have even been rumors of mistreatment of subordinates. After all, it is flesh and blood, and Wu Mei is ruthless. simply turned a blind eye, but for the two half-brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Zetian's treatment of them volatilized women's revenge and grudges to the fullest.

At that time, Wu Mei's eldest brother Wu Yuanqing was Zongzheng Shaoqing, in charge of imperial affairs, and the second brother Wu Yuanshuang was a young eunuch of Shaofu, responsible for the affairs of 100 skills.

Wu Mei's grandiose excuses such as the weight of foreign relatives and the controversy of the imperial court made Li Zhi delegate both of them to the local government. One is the history of Longzhou Thorn, and the other is the history of Haozhou Thorn, both of which have not accumulated virtue before, which is equivalent to being degraded.

Everyone is not very familiar with these ancient place names, and it is not clear that they are all thorn histories, and there is a gap. At that time, Chang'an was actually the current Xi'an, Shaanxi, and Longzhou was in Guanxi, which was quite far away from Beijing, and it was also a poor area at that time.

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang couldn't say what they were suffering from, but they were helpless, not long after Wu Yuanqing arrived in Longzhou, he was ashamed, ashamed and annoyed, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and he died of illness not long after.

Hearing the news of his eldest brother's death, Wu Yuanshuang wanted to cry without tears, and became more and more careful in doing things, but later he still committed an accident and was relegated to Zhenzhou, which is today's Sanya, which was not a tourist attraction at that time, but a poor, backward and unbearable fishing island. Wu Yuanshuang was depressed and uncomfortable, coupled with serious discomfort with water and soil, he wrote to his sister several times, hoping to transfer him back, and in the future, he must be an honest man, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and be driven by his sister all his life. It's just that it was too late, Wu Mei ignored it, and not long after, Wu Yuanshuang also died of illness.

After Mrs. Rongguo learned about it, she first cried, after all, she was her husband's son, and she didn't look at the face of the Buddha and the monk, and the result of such a treatment was too harsh.

Wu Shun felt very happy, but seeing that his mother didn't care about his past suspicions and was worried about his father's flesh and blood, he instigated that his sister has changed now, and her heart is also ruthless. Others who don't know how to cultivate their own power, you see if she is stupid or not, she takes her brother to open the knife. Although the brothers did not do it right at that time, they didn't ask for the lives of their mothers, and now that they are queens, the brothers have to grovel to do things for the queen, which is good, and they have cut off their own way back.

Mrs. Rongguo came to the rescue, and personally went to find Wu Mei's theory, Wu Mei was discussing national affairs with the ministers, and heard that Mrs. Rongguo was coming, and before she could see her, her mother strode in with the support of her sister, and there was no etiquette at all.

Wu Mei's brows furrowed, and then she looked at the smile in the corner of her sister's eyes, which became more and more unhappy, and after making everyone retreat, she changed to a soft tone and asked, "Mother came in a hurry, why did you send someone to say it." ”

"Mei'er! Why did you kill your two brothers? Mrs. Rongguo came up and scolded loudly, and as soon as the palace maid and eunuch were obedient, they hurriedly retreated.

Wu Mei didn't move, and said in a cold voice: "Mother, this is the palace, no better than at home, you are so shouting and spreading it, what do the palace people think of me, and what do the officials and people think?" ”

Mrs. Rongguo also knew that she was speechless, but at this time, Wu Shun helped: "Sister, no matter how big the palace is, it is also home." Isn't it okay to talk about family affairs in your own home? ”

Wu Mei was angry and snorted: "If you want to say that it is home, it is also the home of this palace, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Wu Shun was embarrassed, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a long time, Mrs. Rongguo saw that Wu Mei not only harmed her two elder brothers, but even her sister reprimanded her loudly, and she was even more angry, pointing at Wu Mei and saying: "I gave birth to you and raised you, but you are here to teach me." I'm not talking right, so is your cold talk the way of the queen? ”

Wu Mei sighed heavily, walked over to help her mother sit down, and explained, "Mother, I didn't kill the two elder brothers. The reason why I let them out is really to teach them some lessons. As long as I have thought about them sincerely, how can I not forgive them? ”

"They were really confused when they were young, but they were the flesh and blood of the martial arts family, and now they are gone, how will I explain to your father when I stretch my legs in the future?" Mrs. Rongguo said: "Your two elder brothers have written to me, their words are sincere, quite remorseful, Yuan Qing's son Wu Sansi, and Yuan Shuang's son Wu Chenghei are both young and out of control, and want to hand them over to me to raise. Mei'er, don't do things absolutely, leave a way back for the martial arts. ”

Mother's words were all said to this point, Wu Mei couldn't help but agree, squinted at her sister, and said: "Sansi and Chenghei are both young, and I don't know if I heard some rumors when I was a child, and if I do stupid things to avenge my father in the future, it will still make my father uneasy." ”

"Mei'er, don't you care about them?" When Mrs. Rongguo heard this, she was anxious again.

"Of course not, the mother can take them in and raise them in the palace. However, the descendants of the martial arts family cannot just rely on the two children, but also have to continue to write the family tree after passing others. Wu Mei said tentatively.

"You mean the children of the step-clan?" Mrs. Rongguo was a little unwilling: "They are all relatives who haven't moved around for a long time, and they usually don't have favors, but now they are cheaper." There is no hurry in this matter, and when Sansi and the heir grow up, it is not too late to look at his words and deeds. ”

"Hehe, mother, I have an idea, which can not only make the martial arts family have a queen, but also make my mother happy, and my sister can also be happy." Wu Mei said.

Wu Shun couldn't help but shudder, why did he still have a relationship with her, and asked nervously, "What does sister mean?" ”

"Yes, Mei'er, where is such a good thing?" Mrs. Rongguo asked curiously.

"I heard that my sister's eldest son, Helan Minzhi, is handsome and talented, so it is better to change his surname to Wu. And Minzhi has also reached the age of marrying, and when he becomes an official in the future, he will give him a good family affair, what does his mother say? ”

Mrs. Rongguo is naturally very much in favor, and it is also a pleasure to have a few children playing around her knees when she is old. Mrs. Wu Shun of Korea is a little unhappy, her relationship with her deceased husband is still good, the descendants of your martial arts family were killed by you, why do you still let our Helan family come to succeed?

"Sister, the Helan family is also a big family, and the heirs are prosperous, not inferior to one of Min. What's more, when Minzhi arrives in the capital, I will say a few more good words for him, if His Majesty likes it, why worry about not being a big deal in the future? Wu Mei said with a smile, and Mrs. Rongguo also tried her best to promote this matter.

Wu Shun's performance was very far-fetched, but she was also very concerned about her son's future, and finally took half a step back, saying that the child was also older, and she couldn't be the master of the clan, so she had to ask the clansman what she meant first. Wu Mei nodded in agreement, and at the same time conveyed the will, the Helan family even disagreed, and could only muttered in their hearts, and they never dared to say it.

However, Helan Minzhi was a spineless person, as soon as he heard about this beautiful thing, he was overjoyed, and he didn't discuss it with anyone, so he packed his luggage and rushed to the capital on the same day.

In order to take care of her mother's emotions, Wu Mei still treated her clan brothers well, such as Wu Weiliang as Weiwei Shaoqing, and Wu Huaiyun was promoted from the history of the governor of Yingzhou to the history of the assassin of Zizhou, which temporarily calmed her mother's anger.

stabilized her mother, but her sister Wu Shun's dissatisfaction grew, and she decided that Wu Mei was squeezing herself. Think about it at the beginning, if it weren't for the lack of food and drink for her mother and two younger sisters, how could she get married in a hurry and marry a sick seedling!
